Our local farm store / ACE hardware just rebranded—out with the old Ace and Craftsman brand tools and in with Vulcan (supplied by Orgill). Full aisle of wrenches, sockets, breaker bars, etc. I picked up a couple wrenches to toy with, and fill gaps for a roadside toolkit. Overall quality seems...

I'm framing in a 58" wide, 16" deep, floor to ceiling wall in my finished family room to house a small recessed electric fireplace and to wall mount my television. The wall I'm framing this against is a finished, insulated, exterior wall and I'd like to keep the drywall in place in case we...

Genlabs Heavy Duty Degreaser. Power Mite if you're dead set on heavy degreasing. $9/ gallon. Can be diluted down to 50:1 for kitchen cleaning, 20:1 for general cleaning, and at full strength we use it on fuel stations and our heavy equipment shop. We keep two 1gal sprayers full. One half...

I've seen several gates at gravel lots, tree farms, and ranches that used RR track. Always wondered how they get it. Neighbor kids use a length to "grind" and do tricks on their skateboards.

In my experience cutting open and making dozens of propane tank firepits and BBQ's, the mercaptan smells burns off in the first use. But your entire yard will smell like it for a week of your filled the tank with water and flushed some all over the lawn. 🤣

The following is not advice! Consider it for entertainment purposes only! Propane is dangerous, as is cutting open used fuel tanks of any type. Do not attempt. /warning over I work for a company that has roughly 30,000 propane tanks on lease for business and residential use. These range from...

Well it's not quite the 20% off dream coupon, but it's better than nothing. 15% off valid until midnight 12/7/23 AC15HT842P1

Used Thanks. I tried the "cart trick" but got impatient. When they email me a "please come back" code illmpay it forward. 👍🏻 In the meantime, pops should enjoy his new set of Williams 1/2" drive metric socket sets for the holidays!

Got the same thing the week before thanksgiving, but TWO 5.0 batteries, charger, grinder, and tooltag for $199

Sure, pick ONE scenario to draw a conclusion from. What about.... you're 150 miles from home, you roll down the window to pay the parking attendant as you get ready to go to the big game and your drivers window doesn't roll back up? Gunna go home instead? It's snowing, it's late, you're on...

Still works for me. Just clicked it.

Yeah, way up. But what isn't? I still scored a wusthof classic 8" chefs and 3.5" pairing knife from Amazon over the holidays for $130. Didn't feel bad at all about that!

I've been using a piece of3/8 rebar lately. Call mE nuts but it unwinds easily and you already have the rebar to pound into the ground for your first stake. When finished, chuck it into a low speed cordless drill and wind it back up (carefully!!!).

This. The bit sets are nice and often faster... as are a good set of T handles, but why WOULDNT you have a decent set of L-keys I just bought my (15th?) set of Eklind USA L keys from ace hardware for under $3. An 11 piece set with a holder. I've got an SAE and a metric set in every tool box...

Yeah, I'd never try and remove a stuck thermostat, bypass a leaky heater core, disconnect a dragging parking brake, or retighten a wiper motor that rattled loose in a downpour, re-adjust a transmission shift selector switch because a pickup was stuck in 1st, etc on newer than a 1994 if I was...

This, or a small triangle file. Either way, the photos took longer to post than the repair will take. Should be quick and easy, and have zero effect once installed 👍🏻

I miss Sears! They would put the higher end welded cabinets on sale twice a year for super cheap. I got an entire wall of gladiator cabinets for under $600 and then earned over $100 in Sears bonus cash to buy craftsman (at the very end while still US made). They would put the floor to ceiling...

Any way to safely block the entrance they are using? Copper mesh, steel wool, or 1/4" or finer welded wire usually works.

Can't comment on the Olsa, but I have the tekton and the harbor freight versions mentioned above. I use the to strip valves off propane tanks--and if you've ever removed one from an old rusty tank, you know it takes some strength. The harbor freight bar flexes MUCH more than the tekton. Also...

I've also purchased several out-of-box "new" m18 tools (on eBay, not Amazon). Resellers buy kits on clearance/sale and break them down and sell theninsividual parts for profit. Especially common on some of the older, or previous generation tools. Any chance this happened to you? I'd probably...
